Does lowering the car cause uneven tyre wear no matter what you do? My car is only lowered slightly about 1.5inches on springs, I have 15inch rims with regular 195/50 tyres. Got a wheel alignment after fitting springs and rims. Last time i checked the tyres are wearing more towards the inner side.

is there anything i can do for better tyre wear or is this normanl?

first of all, this is normal

if you want to make it wear more evenly, you'll need to get camber arms that will let you take away camber angle.

what were the alignment settings before and after?
i'm running about -3deg camber on the front with a good alignment and wear seems to be fairly even

ditto. with a good allignment, the wear should be close to being even.

Likewise, I have -2 degrees all round. Wear is very even, although just slightly more wear on the inside. Wheel alignment and toe make a big difference.

Take it back and show them, or go to a decent wheel aligner.
